My hoover steamvac f5868900 has somehow been set to ''tool mode'' and I don't see a way to switch to ''clean mode''

My Windsor Sensor XP12 says the bag is full when it's not. I have removed the hose, brush, and filter and cleaned everything. I can put a bag on without the cover and it works great. However, when I add the bag to the front cover and close the latch the right way, it does not work. I'm thinking that the cover is not seating the bag correctly over the hole, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Any suggestions?

I have a Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge. I lent it to my mother who used it without the brush attached underneath. Now it doesn?t **** up water and the brushes don?t turn. Any idea what would?ve broken? Is there a belt that would have burned out? The motor? Anthing I could fix myself, or would I need service for this?

Hoover F5809 Hello, I seen a few of your post and was hoping you could help me. I just became a member today. My sister gave me her old Hoover Steam Vac-Model F5809. This thing is so dirty and clogged because my sister has pets. So far I've gotten it all taken apart to clean it. I'm not a newbie and taking apart and fixing things. I have fixed things like microwaves, washers, dryers, dishwashers (still learning about TV's-very hard, hehe). Anyway, I got what I believe to be the motor cover off.

That cover is the called the fan cover and is usually pressed on. Tapping on the edge with a flat blade, you may be able to get it off and hope you don't bend it up, you will to put it back on tight enough so it will stay in place. Another thing to ...

Vaccum overheating I have a hoover u5458-900 wind tunnel and the auto shot off has kicked in for overheat protection. i've cleaned the entire thing and let it sit like i was supposed to but it still won't fully turn on and stay on. it will turn on for a few minutes and then shut off and just cycle like that for a few times. is there anything i can do to fix this or should i just clean it more (if possible)?

Either the motor protector is bad, or you have a clog in the hose or the dirt inlet by the brush roll. Are the filters clean? It is also possible that there is a problem with the motor. ...

We used our Hoover SteamVac F6207-900 for the first time today and it did not suction at all. Please help. It emptied all of the clean water/detergent as I cleaned the carpet, but no dirty water came up into the empty tank.
Thanks!

My Hoover Mach 5 model number u5194-900 series ZF12.O will vacuum for about 15-10 min then it shuts its self off and will not turn back on., I have cleaned out all the hoses, filters and cleaned off brush. What can I do to fix this so that it will **** into the chamber. The hoses get clogged and it doesn't appear to be sucking into the "bag area"

The retractable cord is stuck all the way out and will not go back in. Is there a simple way to fix this "disaster"??? without taking vacuum apart that is. And this is not my exact vacuum but I figure the cord problem would go for all of them. Ours is a ORANGE HEPA 360 Kenmore Whisper Belt 12 amp with PowerMate Model # 116.29219800

My Hoover Steam vac has also stopped sucking... I have pulled it apart to clean it. Is there a way to take the bristles off to clean them as well as are there any other parts that could be the problem?

I have a vax cylinder model V-094. Working fine then started to play up. Switch it on and the motor seems to struggle to power up. Kind of wurrs up and down. Was thinking it could be the brushes have worn.
Tokk to bits and cleaned her up, took a look at motot and brushes, cleaned them too, back together and still them same problem. Help please, hoover is not old but has done some work really don't want to through away something that can be fixed.

Hi.\015\012\015\012after all you have done I would be pretty confident its the motor thats faulty they are expensive to buy so machine is going to be scrap,\015\012\015\012Sorry.\015\012\015\012 ...
